It is estimated that there are 20,000 universities globally, South Africa has 26.
There are a number of agencies which rank universities; The QS Survey, The Times Higher Education Survey and the Centre for World University Rankings (CWUR) to name a few.
The CWUR grades universities on four factors without relying on surveys and university data submissions: quality of education (25%), alumni employment (25%), quality of faculty (10%), and research performance (40%).
This year, 19,788 institutions were ranked, and those that placed at the top made the global 2,000 list.

To Whom It May Concern
I am the Head Librarian/Manager of The Brenthurst Library in Johannesburg, a privately-owned research library holding collections of books, pamphlets, manuscripts, artworks and photographic materials.
In 2016 the library collaborated with the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam on a project to digitise records relating to Robert Jacob Gordon, the last Dutch military commander at the Cape. The library holds a substantial archive of manuscript material, and artworks and maps were in The Netherlands, so the Rijksmuseum wished to set up a website combining all the material for researchers. The manuscripts held here are fragile and very valuable, so it was important that they would be handled in line with best conservation practices.
Leo Zeilig has held academic positions at the University of Johannesburg, the University of the Witwatersrand and the University of the Western Cape. He has authored books on student politics in Africa, social movements, the African working class, and Patrice Lumumba, and is also a novelist. He has written extensively on African politics and history, including books on working-class struggle and the development of revolutionary movements and biographies on some of Africa’s most important political thinkers and activists. In different ways, each book examines the growth of decolonization, the failures of independence and the development of radical politics on the continent. In all of his writing Leo presents the continent as being at the centre of globalisation.
